The in situ coupling between electrochemistry and fluorescence microscopy is gaining popularity the electrochemical community as a tool to image electrode processes real time, providing useful spatial information which not accessible by purely methods. In recent years, new applications of electrochemical-fluorescence have emerged, together with methodological developments that expanded possibil...

Typically, these approaches invoke micro-mechanisms to explain macro-social p...

Cost-effective prevention strategies to prevent weight gain and the development of obesity should be based on appropriate knowledge of the determinants of weight gain. The body of evidence on the dietary determinants of weight gain is, however, fragmentary at best, partly because inappropriate research methods are used to study the determinants of obesity under normal circumstances. Evidence fr...

Eudaemonics is the study of the nature, causes, and conditions of human well-being. According to the ethical theory of eudaemonia, reaping satisfaction and fulfillment from life is not only a desirable end, but a moral responsibility. However, in modern society, many individuals struggle to meet this responsibility. Computational mechanisms could better enable individuals to achieve eudaemonia ...

This paper offers a theoretically based examination of the British state's intervention in the emerging market for popular education in England during the nineteenth cent...
